I've done that before while racing, even while spraying. wind noise pisses me off on vids even tho i almost always forget to roll up the window after the start. it's a plus about auto's tho lol.

Rolling up the windows also helps with aerodynamic drag. That is why your car gets better gas mileage with the windows up than it does with them down. It is also why if you are driving on the highway, AC on vs windows down is a pointless decision. A/C being on ends up costing you as much gas mileage as having he windows down.

That's why I roll all summer roof off, windows down. Sick of getting good gas mileage.

My opinion,

he will edge you out.

Those cars are pretty damn quick and make big torque through out the entire powerband.

I thought I saw a few running high 12s stock
